Why is an untreated acute allergic reaction a life-threatening situation?

Biology
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
8 0
Untreated acute allergic reaction is a life-threatening situation because its symptoms can progress quickly. The most dangerous is the Anaphylaxis. It can be triggered by drugs, food, or injections, which a person may experience itching, swelling, difficulty in breathing, panic, and collapse. The worse is cardiac arrest when not treated immediately.  Moreover, a prolonged illness may also develop as its late phase such as severe asthma.

The term Southern Oscillation most nearly refers to which of the following?
Yuki888 [10]

The term Southern Oscillation most nearly refers to a reversal of wind direction

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Southern Oscillation, a component of the atmosphere in one large-scale interaction called El Niño / ENSO. The equatorial cycle fluctuates after irregular periods of about many years in response to alter in atmospheric pressure in the tropical Indo-Pacific.

With the weakening of the east-west wind during the southern oscillation phase, warm water may slide back west, increasing the flow of the equator up. Surface water temperatures and sea levels fall west and rise east, which is why this event is called El Niño.

fiasKO [112]

<u>Answer</u>: option B they have a random gene mutation that affects their fur colour.

<u>Explanation</u> :-

  • <em>Variation</em> is the phenomena which occurs in all populations.
  • These variations result in slight differences in the phenotypes of individuals .
  • These variations only arise due to <em>random mutations </em>that arise in the individuals’ genome and then can be inherited by their offspring.
  • There is always a probability of one particular trait to make the individuals survive better in the environment as compared to other trait.
  • The individuals having the trait that helps them to survive better in the environment tend to survive more and leave more progeny. This is termed as <em>survival of the fittest</em>.
  • Thus, according to the question it can be inferred that the dark fur colour arose due to a <em>random mutation </em>since it is the only source of variation. Since, in the given environmental conditions the mice having the dark fur colour were less susceptible to the predators they are better fitted to survive.
  • The dark brown fur coat mice, survive better, leave more progeny and hence, increase their population with time. However, the orginal source of origin of this trait was a random mutation. Had this mutation not occured, the dark coloured fur mice would not have been there.

So, a <em>random gene mutation affecting the fur colour made the dark coloured mice first appear in the population.</em>

Hypothesis that states that the continents were once one large mass that broke apart?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Continental drift

Explanation:

Alfred Wagener told about continental drift. He said that continents were a single land mass called Pangaea. They were separated and relocated in the form of different continents. The drifting happens due to the movement of tectonic plates above the magma. As a result, the land mass was broken down into different landforms.  These broken parts were carried slowly and form the continents. The continents are now also moving slowly
